Interesting.Do we evolve some kind of anti-radiation defense when we mature or just get through by being strong(in sense of immune system) enough to repair it at that stage? What about sick/sensitive people in adulthood?

The radiation hormesis theory is that radiation switches on gene repair in animals (including humans) and in the process gene defects from other causes are also put right. I can't help with the extra sensitivity, sorry. --Old Moonraker 06:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Why does this article say in the text that the study was in 1953 when the referenced article was in 1956? -- Mgolden 15:42, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It was 1953-56. Now changed—thanks.--Old Moonraker 14:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
